Hurst loved Nolan.Remember before he signed for us Hurst was quoted as something something akin to a scratch you cant get rid of eg a very good player

Its a view I endorse. Technically very good for a lower league player when I saw him.Pleased for him that he scored a great goal tonight.Likewise played a good game in the final that got us promoted back to the league.Have a soft spot for him in view of that amongst others.


Always rated him since I saw him play for Stockport.

LJL is still trying to hit some cows arses with his banjo.
As for better target men, Jones, Livvo, Keef, Drinkell etc etc.
He was ok, of his 20 goals weren’t 11 pens? He also started the chippy ear cupping thing at Dartford.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

It'll be interesting to see how Hurst continues to perform when he can't keep picking up players he knows from years back.

I'm sure he keeps meeting (and working with) new ones, but sometimes a core crop can run dry.

He kept rebuilding Town's squad each season but always had the likes of McKeown, Pearson and Disley at its heart - and they were there still, even when he left for the Shrews.

He might come across as dour and snippy, which annoyed some of our fans, but he clearly gets the backing of his players. I don't know what he's like in the changing rooms but clearly he knows how to get the players playing for him.

Keeps doing it, so it's no fluke. It seems like you could give him any team in the land, give him a full season and he'll get them in and around the play-offs.

His Wembley goal was the best. Scored with his face.

Well, 4 penalties according to Soccerbase. Not particularly close to 11.

Amazing how penalties apparently don't count if you don't like a player, isn't it? Has anybody told Mitch Rose he only scored 4 goals this season as the penalties including those three at the end don't count?

I don't think it's just coincidence that LJL has played in a higher division than us ever since he left BP.

To be fair, and whilst I agree with your first two lines, a few of us were calling for hm to be subbed off (never the best striker in my opinion and was hobbling around looking injured) when he won then scored that pen at Dartford. Don't know if it's just my mind re-writing history, but that seems to be roughly when he went on his scoring spree.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Of course penalties count, but not really if you are measuring a players goal scoring prowess. He did have other qualities but there were times you’d wonder if he could even finish his dinner.
